RABIES, RABIES and more RABIES!

RABIES, RABIES and more RABIES! VAWZ is deeply concerned with the increasing number of confirmed Rabies cases throughout Zimbabwe. Recently a dog from Arcturus was tested positive, as well as a feral cat from Sussex Road (Avondale West) and tragically a young boy in Chegutu has died from the disease, two months after being bitten by his neighbour's dog. We cannot stress enough the importance of having ALL your pets vaccinated annually against this deadly disease. Should you come into contact with an unknown animal, particularly one displaying unusual behaviour, please seek medical advice immediately. Children must be warned not to interact with strange animals. RABIES IS 100% FATAL, DON"T TAKE A CHANCE! Please report sightings of suspect animals to VAWZ (0778431528 / 0775722449) or your nearest veterinary surgery
